Jenny Hirst has been painting professionally since completing a foundation diploma in 2002. She lives and paints from her studio in Alderley Edge, Cheshire. She has exhibited her work in Manshester, Cheshire, Derbyshire, North and South Wales. She has exhibited with Quantum since early 2008 and we have taken her work to the London art fairs, to Glasgow, Brussels and to Chicago and New York. She says of her work: " I try to incorporate interesting textures into my work by the overlaying of paint and collage and also the rubbing and scraping away of paint to reveal layers beneath. I aim to capture the essence of a place - an emotional response rather than an accurate representation. "
